Your bathroom vanity is the workhorse of your home. Between hot hair tools, spilled cosmetics, toothpaste splatter, and daily scrubbing, it sees more action than almost any other surface in the house. Over time, even the highest quality materials can start to look dull, scratched, or worn. If you are staring at a tired-looking countertop, you are likely dreading the cost and chaos of a full replacement.

Renovating a bathroom is often a game of millimeters. You find the perfect vanity cabinet, pick out stunning tiles, and then realize your countertop needs are slightly non-standard. Perhaps your walls aren't perfectly square, or you’ve found a stock vanity top that is just a few inches too long for your specific alcove. This leads to a common panic among homeowners: are you stuck with a custom order, or can you modify a standard product?
